      Is there a name for this type of fallacy: Plants have something like behavior in one narrow sense, therefore all plant physiology can be interpreted as analogous to animal behavior. Recent "plant memory" papers are particularly bad examples of over-interpretation of flawed expts.

      What do you think they have in that "narrow sense"? And what do they lack? I am more inclined to @evantthompson's "Mind in Life. Plus, if behavior is seen as the control of perception, then all makes much sense (a brain is a great invention to boost that + allow for flexibility).

      Narrow: flexible response to stimuli in shorter and longer term (habituation &c). No good evidence yet for association, pattern completion/separation, active sampling, &c. I'd say plants learn like kidneys learn until I see better evidence. Plants are awesome but are not brains.

          I don't find that group's work compelling. It's a big claim to say that plants learn, and yet their protocols do not have the sort of controls found in e.g. fruit fly expts. No blinding for visual inspection of the plants choice? Also v strong interpretations from data.

          This is the work I referred to previously as over-interpreted.
